Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Normal or baseline scenario with parameterization from the literature. The green line indicates the CPS based on the decision tree. The blue hatched area indicates the transition period of the model where there are increasing number of wasps present at the end of the simulations and an indication that the model is becoming more stable.

Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 1036-1049, April 2026.ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.

Evaluating cultivars for pollinator gardens
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Pollinator gardening is a rapidly growing community‐based conservation movement, yet evidence‐based guidelines for practice are largely missing. In particular, it is unclear whether cultivars of flowering plants (i.e., horticultural varieties)‐can support pollinators as effectively as their wild‐type counterparts.

The Dynamics of Reading Genre Fiction: Researching and Teaching Interpretive Practices
Reading Research Quarterly, Volume 61, Issue 2, April/May/June 2026.Conceptual model positioning genre fiction as a site for studying how narrative form organizes reader interpretation, identifying four dynamics—iterability, narrative interest, serialization, and spectacle—to guide empirical research on reading processes.

Carbon finance initiatives can provide biodiversity benefits
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.We evaluated the biodiversity co‐benefits of a REDD+ initiative in the tropical forests of Sierra Leone and Liberia using a quasi‐experimental study design. Complementary measures from bioacoustics and DNA metabarcoding revealed that REDD+‐financed protected areas were associated with additional biodiversity benefits compared to control areas.
